This is one full wine!

Locally, can get this as low as $7.99, which is amazing. This is easily equal to a $30-$40 bottle of full taste, wonderful nose, long finish. Drinkable!
Strong and spicy

This was a very nice full bodied Syrah. I've enjoyed a number of Cline's offerings and especially like their Cashmere wine. I decided to give this a try. Not quite as good as the Cashmere but still quite good. I had this with a spicy, peppery soup and thought it worked well together.

Somewhat sharp when first opened, this wine develops a sensuous nose both slightly floral and berry; rich but not overwhelming taste. Great to accompany meats and pasta.
Yum!

This is a very good wine. Very smooth and loads of fruit. Great buy.
Absolutely delicious syrah

For those of us who likes full body, thick fruit forward, 14% alcohol absolutely delicious syrah, here is the hint: RUN and buy a case of this stuff.
Really dark color, nose full of dark fruit, tobacco, cassis.
First sip reveals good structure, lots of cassis, plums and a little tobacco. This syrah is rich to the point that you look at the label and wondering weather they poured zinfandel in the bottle by mistake. Long finish.
Cline did a good job with this one. I bought it as it was recommended by WS recently. I really didn't expect this quality of wine at this price point.
Peppery....

The back label calls this 2005 Syrah "up over!" I THINK that's Cline's version of the Aussie Shiraz expression: "Over the Top!" Whatever, it IS very spicey and "oaky" if somewhat light bodied. Heavily decanted, it will pair nicely with Pizza, Tex-Mex and other spicey dishes. However it isn't concentrated or complex enough to serve as an apertif.
